The National Monuments Service's description
The monument was apparently levelled in 1954 and by 1972 survived as a 'scarcely visible' circular area (diam. 41m) defined by a shallow fosse which could only be 'traced with difficulty'. In 1985 the site was under tillage and no longer visible at ground level (SMR file).
